tripadvisorFresh food, quick service, and a clean space. A solid spot when you want something tasty.
MoreMy wife & I attended Mass at St. Andrew on a cold & rainy Sunday morning in late December, parking in the large surface lot across the street from the northeast corner of the Cathedral property (Sheldon Ave. SE @ Maple St. SE). The Gothic Revival style exterior architecture of the huge church building in Downtown GR (original construction completed in 1876) is awe inspiring, and that awe continues inside.The soaring arched ceiling in shades of blue is the immediate eye-catching feature, but the glory is in the religious art details, particularly: the statuettes in the niches of the redodos (sanctuary wall behind the main altar), depicting a unique set of saints from around the world; the large bas-relief Stations of the Cross along the side walls of the nave (main worship space); the beautiful stained glass windows (installed in the early 1900s & restored in 2000); and the Cathedral's 3 pipe organs.Public tours are available by appointment. Or simply visit for a scheduled Mass, then linger to absorb the serene & inspirational surroundings.
MoreIt’s a beautiful cathedral. Not as grand as others I have seen. The sound from the choir reverberated beautifully. We went to mass here. The architecture needs to be seen to appreciate. Check the schedule if you want to come to mass here.
MoreIf you're in Grand Rapids, I recommend visiting this church. It won't take long, but it's worth a look. They recently renovated their stained glass windows, so you can really enjoy them on a beautiful sunny day.
MoreStopped in here today to attend Sunday Mass while in town for the weekend. So glad I did! Beautiful Cathedral! And a nice brochure was available to explain all of the special things within the Cathedral telling what they were, their special meaning and history and when they were obtained. The rector presided over the mass and was very engaging!
